MISSION — Mounties in Mission say a 37-year-old Abbotsford woman was arrested for alleged impairment earlier this month after she drove over the curb of a fast-food restaurant drive-through in Mission and unsuccessfully fled from police after striking a tree with her SUV.
Mission RCMP say officers patrolling in downtown Mission on Wednesday, October 16, at approximately 1 a.m., observed a black 2022 Jeep Wagoneer SUV that had driven over a curb of a fast food drive-through lane. The RCMP member drove into the parking lot to check on the driver, by which time the Jeep continued driving and ran into a small tree adjacent to the restaurant. Police say the driver took off running immediately.
Other RCMP officers attended and arrested the Abbotsford woman nearby. Police say her breath smelled of liquor, and multiple liquor containers were found scattered throughout the inside of her SUV. She also failed two roadside screening device tests. She received a driving prohibition and her vehicle was impounded.
Just two nights later, police encountered another case of alleged DUI. Around 9:30 p.m. on Friday, October 18, a pickup was struck by a grey 2018 Jeep Cherokee at the intersection of Richards Avenue and Doyle Street. According to a statement from police, the Jeep driver allegedly made a right-turn at a high rate of speed, colliding with the pickup that was waiting at the stop sign and causing significant damage to the pickup. The 40-year-old female driver of the Jeep, a resident of Abbotsford, was taken to the Mission RCMP detachment, where she provided breath samples over twice the legal limit. Criminal impaired driving charges are being recommended to Crown counsel.
